Adore

I had so much fun with this LO and it came together so much better for me than my last LO. I used Prima flowers, butterfly and bling on this. I also handmade the roses, used my cricut for the title, inked all the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink in tattered rose. And I also used some diamonds! I'll show those in a minute! I used a sketch from Beggahuna. My papers are from My Mind's Eye. Here is my results: Here are my diamonds! They are so neat. I found them in the wedding section at Hobby Lobby. There has to be probably 500 diamonds in this box for 7 bucks!! I used a hot glue gun to attach them. I also played around a little with one when I brought them home and you can use alcohol ink on them and it works beautifully!!!! (I've already made a pinkish/red one that I want to use on a LO).

I thought these were neat little butterflies. My mom bought a bag of them from Oriental Trading and she bought me a bag too! Love my mom! :) They are like a mesh type material. Almost like panty hose.

These are the flowers that I made. I tried something different though. I wanted them to be shiny all over and not just where I stickled. So when I punched the shapes out I coated them with Modge Podge gloss. Let dry and then continue making your rose. I put the link to the tutorial for these roses in an earlier post. It coats them beautifully. I still stickled one of the roses but decided not to on the other 3.
